Alright, Sunday evening rolled around, and you know how it gets. Finished dinner, settled down, and thought, yeah, I should probably jot down my thoughts for Raw tomorrow. It’s become a bit of a ritual, helps me sort out what I’m actually looking forward to, you know?
So, first things first, I had to actually remember what went down last week. My memory’s not what it used to be, ha! Fired up the old laptop, went digging through the usual spots online – the official channels, you know, the ones that put out the match announcements. Had to piece together the main storylines carrying over.
Checking the Announced Stuff
Okay, saw they announced a couple of matches already. That always makes it easier. I started jotting down some bullet points for each one. Who’s involved, what’s the beef, basic stuff. Didn’t go super deep, just enough to frame it.
- That tag team thing – who’s actually feuding with who now? Sometimes it gets messy.
- The main title picture – always gotta speculate on that.
- Any non-wrestling segments announced? Sometimes those are more interesting.
Getting My Thoughts Down
Then I just started writing, really. Opened up my usual text editor, nothing fancy. I try not to overthink it, just type out what comes to mind. Like, for that championship angle, I put down something like, I really hope they give this guy a proper chance, you know? Just my honest take.
I went segment by segment based on what was announced or heavily hinted at from last week. If I wasn’t sure about something, I’d just say that. No point pretending I know everything. Added a few predictions here and there, just for fun. Stuff like, I betcha So-and-So interferes in this match. It’s fun to see if I get it right later.
Spent a bit of time thinking about the women’s division too. Felt like it needed its own section. Typed out my hopes for who gets a spotlight next. It’s hit or miss these days, but you gotta keep hoping, right?
Wrapping It Up
Read through it once, mostly checking for anything totally incoherent. Didn’t fuss too much about making it perfect prose or anything. It’s just a blog post, my own little record. Added some simple formatting, like the bold bits and breaking things up with those section headers, just to make it easier to read.
And that was pretty much it. Took maybe an hour, hour and a half? Felt good to get it down. Now I feel kinda ready for the show tomorrow, got my own little roadmap in my head. Guess we’ll see how much of it actually happens the way I think it will. Probably not much, ha!
